Also, anything from that CD I posted with Albert King and SRV. And a lot of The Allman Brothers band is very blues-influenced (especially at the Fillmore; Elmore James' Done Somebody Wrong, plus more stuff by other musicians like Stormy Monday).

I've already got red house and the thrill is gone. I'll check out some allman brothers now.

Thats off the top of my head. There are so many greats Leadbelly, BB King, Muddy Waters, Memphis Slim, Jack Dupree, Big Bill Broonzy, and the many hard rock blues influenced bands like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath.

Really anything by Stevie Ray Vaughan, especially if you're listening to rock now, he was my first true blues influence after switching over from rock, and he's a good introduction to blues from rock. but anyways:
jimi hendrix - red house
b.b. king - the thrill is gone
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (preferably a live version)
The Allman Brothers - Jessica (or Ramblin Man that's good too)
The Rolling Stones - Midnight Rambler (from Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out, or at least a live version)

Also if these count check out
Cream - Crossroads
Lynyrd Skynyrd - The Ballad of Curtis Loew
